To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

A Faster Way To Remove Low Level Noise

With Pro Tools 11, we now have the ability to bounce and bring back in in one movement, an audio stem.

Community Tip - An Alternative To Trim

I know there’s a way to keep your automation but bump the overall track level up or down, but here’s a quick way I just thought of. It was my “duh” moment because I never thought of it before. If you’ve added volume automation to a track...

I have a tip on how to keep track on all the demos and interesting plug-ins out there. To keep a better overview on my installed demos for plugins and software, I placed a whiteboard next to my desk, on which I can keep track of every demo I install, including the expiration date.

Sound Librarian Location Recording

The creation of sound is a very specific area of production requiring unique skills that can take time to learn through practise. Some people like myself take part in University courses to help get the skills and knowledge required to perform to the exacting standards required of the industry. I have a Masters Degree in Sound Design.

Learning To Use EQ & Identify Frequencies

October 29, 2013, 04:31 AM

http://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2013/10/...

When I first started using Pro Tools, I would look up tutorials on how to learn to EQ. I found a very useful tip on YouTube with a tip for learning frequencies. He talked about setting up a session with 2 identical tracks panned up the centre and having the phase flipped on one so that it 100 percent phase cancels. Then you insert an EQ in one and do some sweeping and you can hear that frequency soloed.
